notes: 'I''m honored to have been asked to compose the music for the opening ceremony
  of Tadaima 2023. I tried to write a variety of different pieces that would accompany
  different interviews about the pilgrimages and the Japanese American experience.
  I myself am Japanese American, a yonsei (fourth-generation, my great-grandparents
  came from Japan). During World War II, my grandparents, both US-born citizens, were
  incarcerated at Rohwer, Arkansas, where my mother was born. I''m grateful for the
  opportunity to work on a score that directly benefits the preservation of not only
  my family''s history but the history of Japanese Americans in the US.

  Tadaima is an online event hosted by Japanese American Memorial Pilgrimages (JAMP),
  an organization dedicated to planning and hosting pilgrimages to the many incarceration
  camps that were constructed during World War II to house forcibly relocated Japanese
  Americans. In addition, JAMP hosts many pilgrimages in addition to other events
  and services relating to the Japanese American incarceration.

  Here is a link to the opening ceremony on YouTube: www.youtube.com/watch?v=9f3jUuEdJRc

  I decided to preserve the original names that I used when I worked on the pieces
  as well as giving them names that are a bit more evocative of the moods that they
  portray: thoughtful, bittersweet, angry, and playful. I also included all of the
  pieces that I wrote for this project even if not all of them ended up in the final
  video.

  Tadaima 2023 is currently running throughout the entirety of October, and I encourage
  you to check out the many different programs that they offer: www.jampilgrimages.com/tadaima2023

  Cover design by Ian Martyn using an Okita family photo from Rohwer, Arkansas, as
  well as a photo taken by Ian Martyn of an ancient bristlecone pine in the Patriarch
  Grove, Inyo National Forest, approximately an hour from Manzanar.

  Special thanks to Kimiko Marr, Monika Mizota, and Caroline Kimura of Japanese American
  Memorial Pilgrimages for giving me the opportunity to score this film. Also thanks
  to Aki Nace who edited the opening ceremony video together.
